Foam rolling and stretching with its various techniques are frequently used as a warm-up
routine to increase the range of motion of a joint. While the magnitude of the changes in …

Although it is well known that both stretching and foam rolling can acutely increase the
range of motion (ROM) and affect performance, the effects of a combined treatment (foam …

Foam rolling is thought to improve muscular performance and flexibility as well as to
alleviate muscle fatigue and soreness. For this reason, foam rolling has become a popular …

Purpose Stretching and foam rolling are common warm-up exercises and can acutely
increase the range of motion (ROM) of a joint. However, possible differences in the …

Objective To conduct a systematic review with meta-analysis assessing the effects of foam
rolling on range of motion, laboratory-and field-based athletic measures, and on recovery …

Clinical Scenario: Dynamic stretching and foam rolling are commonly used by athletes to
reduce injury and enhance recovery, thereby improving athletic performance. In contrast to …

Background A single foam-rolling exercise can acutely increase the range of motion (ROM)
of a joint. However, to date the adaptational effects of foam-rolling training over several …

Abstract Background Foam Rolling (FR) is currently used by athletes at all levels. It is not
known whether FR is more effective being used as a warm up to aid performance or more …

Background Foam rolling (FR) has been demonstrated to acutely enhance joint range of
motion (ROM). However, data syntheses pooling the effect sizes across studies are scarce. It …

Background Physiotherapists and other practitioners commonly prescribe foam rolling as an
intervention, but the mechanistic effects of this intervention are not known. Purpose The aim …
